Sanson legislative panel to begin Tuesday

Rep. Bill Galvano, chair of the select committee investigating Ray Sansom's dealings with Northwest Florida State College, announced today that the first hearing will begin 9 a.m. Tuesday.

The hearing is scheduled for four hours, though it's unclear how much work the five-member panel will be able to do given a request from Sansom that the proceedings be delayed until after his criminal trial.

Galvano said last week that it's reasonable to grant a delay but he also said some work could proceed. More here.
